*Lol!* We might have to share the title. I've been known to call people by the wrong name entirely, when I get distracted while I'm typing.
Danny thinks and he remembers - that's essentially what he does for a living. To have him seem to just forget about anyone who's impacted on him in a meaningful fashion (whether for good or for ill) makes about as much sense as expecting a computer to randomly misplace files (when there's no human error or nasty bug involved to explain the missing data). It felt a little like they got tired of Charlie and just decided enough was enough one day, didn't it? *Sigh* And it really upset me to see the way they kind of just dropped Jacob, as a character, after they went to all that trouble to save him. Write it and I know I'd read it, if only because I get tired of the characters who show up and then vanish without any real rhyme or reason.
Eh, s'okay. I don't think I was saying all that much of anything terribly important, if it was something recent but not today recent.
*Loves Dune, loved that conversation, and hopes to see the chapter soon because she is a greedy impatient fangirl*
You know, I'm not sure if they ever really state exactly how much time Luke is on Dagobah, come to think of it. He arrives after the Battle of Hoth, which is in 3 ABY, and doesn't make it back until 4 ABY, but that's more an indication of how much time it takes to actually track down and rescue Han in between the end of TESB and the start of RotJ than anything else. (They spend most of a year chasing after Boba Fett, trying to rescue Han before he can hand him over to Jabba, and slowly finding out about a second Death Star that's under construction.) I've always assumed it couldn't have been much more a full month, though, if even that, because there's really only so much time that Han could have hung around hiding in that asteroid field, they end up going from there straight to Cloud City, and they aren't on Bespin for long before Lando has to turn them over to Vader. Granted, their journey to Cloud City might've taken quite a bit longer than it normally would've, because of their engine problems, but I have a hard time trying to justify the passage of too much time, given that no one else from the Rebellion was worried enough about Leia's lack of appearance at the rendezvous point to send people out hunting for her and Han. The movie skims over the time as if it were only a matter of days, but considering the amount of progress Luke does make, I want to say he has to have been there for at least a couple of weeks. Does that help at all? Most of the four + years that passe in between ANH and RotJ passes in the EU, not in the actual canon.
